Art is illuminating, healing and necessary. Creating something unique, merging color with form, and revealing new aesthetics, is a passion of mine. Every time I am out in nature, I feel a sense of wonder, gratitude and connection. I hope to convey the message of upholding keeping of the land, through my artwork and process.

A viewer once said of my work…” Your art reminds people of themselves, of who they really are. They recognize the art they forgot about... They realize they do know, and can know, and that they never really lost themselves, that they are still there and it makes them happy…”

I invite you, as a unique observer, to find your own take on what you see in my work, and maybe even find your own way into creating something new.

Feel free to contact me for commissioning a work.
